Come and discover Vancouver, a modern, magical city set among lush green mountain forests and beaches lapped by the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy the friendly multicultural atmosphere of Western Canada's largest Metropolis, where you can enjoy shopping, museums, and many outdoor adventures. ILSC-Vancouver is conveniently located in the city's downtown, close to public transport, banks, restaurants, and shopping options. The city is pedestrian and cyclist friendly, with a growing network of bike lanes, and walking routes.
A haven for outdoor enthusiasts, nature lovers will enjoy mountain biking along the wooded trails of Pacific Spirit Park, roller blading around the Seawall, hiking up Grouse or Seymour mountains to take in the magnificent coastal views, or relaxing in Stanley Park, a beach-lined natural oasis that is only a short stroll from the city centre.

In summer, students can enjoy lounging on Vancouver's many beaches, try standup paddle-boarding in English Bay (the latest Vancouver craze), check out the Fireworks competition, hike the local mountains or enjoy the city's many free summer festivals, Canada Day celebrations, and more.
Vancouver is a popular destination for skiers, snowboarders and winter sports fans. The world renowned Whistler Mountain Ski Resort is a 1½ hour drive from the city. Local ski hills, Grouse, Seymour, and Cypress are all a short ½ hour drive from downtown. Snow falls on the mountains, but rarely in the city where average temperatures hover around 10°C.
